Today’s page was held up by technical difficulties. The most horrible, debilitating of all technical difficulties. It’s frustrating to even talk about now, but… well… THE AIR CONDITIONER WASN’T WORKING LAST NIGHT. No, seriously. My computer heats up this side of the room so bad that, without refrigerated air blasting on me from up above, I literally couldn’t handle sitting at the desk long enough to get any work done. (Granted, I was already feeling pretty crappy last night, and being overheated only made that worse). Of course, I’d ALSO spent all morning getting a batch of Conventional Wisdom comics posted on Patreon, so there was that too… but yeah, these are the kind of boring explanations you can usually expect when I run late on something. “I was getting all sweaty so I went to bed early.” Clearly, the life of a cartoonist is fraught with danger and hardships.

And don’t forget: New Voting Incentive!

(Historical Notes: and with this, we’ve officially made it into the most recent story arc!  Granted, it’s also the longest, thanks to all of the filler that’d wind up happening, and we were almost at the END of it when the hiatus started so there’s a long way left to go.  Still, it’s less far than we had before.  It’s officially the home stretch!  And, of course, with the promise of a new story kicking off, the comments were all focused on how “Cake Soda” as mentioned in the Voting Incentive would work.  Right priorities.)
